It's cold outside!

Thank you in advance for your support and contribution.



The pipes froze at the VA today. The electricity needed to be shut off while the plumbers fixed it. Therefore, I didn't stay long for my visit this morning. Bob was tucked in bed under several blankets keeping warm. He told me that there wasn't enough room for me to crawl in with him to stay warm, so I went home to get warm.



Those of you who are experiencing a blizzard, today, will think I'm a pansy saying that 15 degrees is cold. But, it is freezing here in Oregon. It smelled like it should have been snowing. I'm from Pennsylvania; I know what snow and blizzards feel and smell like. The air smelled like the snow would have been one of those snows that had a crunchy sound when walked on. Those of you who live in snow, know what I mean.



The PT taped up Bob's left foot today to help lift his drop foot. She has ordered a brace for him to use; but she feels that the more aware he becomes mentally, the more awake the nerves will become to that foot and ankle.
